It was nighttime now and my siblings and I were getting our drink on while having fun...well more like my siblings having fun while I sat alone at the bar drinking. I had just down the rest of my drink when a voice snapped me out of my own thoughts. I looked up to see Priscilla holding a bottle of beer. "What" "Did you want some more" she looked at me like she was curious. I only nodded my head and put it on the counter. "Had a long day?" she asked. I sighed and looked at her. "If this is the part where you ask me what's wrong and I spill my guts to you then you're delusional," I said before sipping my beer. "Wow ok I have customers to take of anyway," she said before walking away. "Not that much of a lady killer, are you," Hansel said. I looked at my brother and glared. "And what happened to the lady you were talking to," I asked. "Fair played brother," he said before drinking his drink. I got it from my seat with my drink and sat down next to Gretel. "There have been abductions here and here on both sides of the river and the last one we believe a troll was involved," Jackson said pointing to the map. "A troll," Gretel said surprised. "Trolls are going to cost extra," I said. After my sentence, Hansel drunkenly walked over to us with beers in his hand. "Hey, so what's wrong with the girls in this place huh. I mean correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't bar wenches supposed to be easy" he said taking a seat. "It's really unusual," Gretel said looking at the map. "yes it's unusual," Hansel said sarcastically. "Look at this one," Gretel said moving a report in front of my face. "A father and three children attacked, one child was taken but she didn't touch the other two," she said. "Oh-oh," Hansel said playfully. "that's weird" she replied. "that's so weird," Hansel said.
I smacked him upside the head and looked at him. "Don't be an ass" he said. "Hypocrisy!!" Hansel shouted. We paused for a moment and when we made eye contact we started dying laughing. After we were done looked back at my sister. "Yes it is weird then again we hunt witches for a living what's normal really," I said. She tilted her head and nodded. And that's when a kid had to be at least sixteen walked over to us." excuse me Hansel, Gretel, and Lobo. Oh my God I can't believe you're here I've been Benjamin Walser. I'm really quite a fan of your work" he said. "I can't tell if that's good or disturbing," I said smiling at my brother. He laughed before taking another drink. Gretel smiled at the joke before turning to the boy "it's nice to meet you too Benjamin" "listen if it's not too much trouble, would you please sign-". Before I could stop him he slammed his book down onto the table making me groan. "Oh, my" Gretel said smiling. "Yeah that's from when you found the fox witch of Antwerp and thank her in the moat. And uh this one's from the secret witch ring of Belson when they tried to put a Gate to hell under the courthouse," he said happily. Gretel looked at us with a smile non her face. And in a small way, I was grateful to him. Other people either feared or hated us so it was nice to see a supporter.
"And you guys you certainly taught those witches a thing or to," he said. We were flipping through all the different pages taking in all of our past deeds. "Wow this is amazing, and, uh, weird" Gretel said, "a little creepy" Hansel added. "And disturbing" I agreed. "Yeah uh," the kid said. "You really keep all this stuff," Gretel said in admiration. "I just have so many questions do you mind" "You know we have-" "oh no no no you go ahead," Gretel said cutting off Hansel. Hansel kicked her chair earning a smirk from Gretel. "Okay what is the best way to kill a witch," he asked. "Hansel" Gretel teased. "Uh cutting off their head turns to work or ripping out their heart. And uh skinny them is also nice" he said. "Yeah but burning is the best way cuz that's the only way to be safe," Gretel said. "Oh yeah of course," Ben said. Hansel took a drink of his beer before smiling at me. "Hey enough questions from us do you have any questions for the Big bad Wolf" Hansel said looking at me. "Oh yeah matter of fact I do," he said. I sat up straight and put my mouth in my arm. I did a fake cough "Dick" I said before continuing to cough. He smiled at me and chuckled.
"How come you're a werewolf but your brother or sister aren't," he asked. "Well kid they're not as special as I am," I said smiling. Gretel threw food at me and Hansel punched me in the leg. I laughed at them before turning back to the kid "okay okay well another question then, how did you become a werewolf in the first place" he asked. "Well we think it was a very old magic that cursed me in our first encounter with a witch," I said. "But aren't you immune to spells like your brother and sister," he asked. I looked at the boy and thought about shutting him up but I took a breath. "Look kid it's been a long night are we still have work to do so if you don't mind," I said. I stood up from my seat and handed his book back to him. "You're really nice kid but we have a town under attack and-" I was cut off by the sound of someone running towards the bar. My siblings caught on and stood next to me. "What do you hear," Hansel asked. "Someone is running towards the bar," I said. Then a man rushed into the bar. The entire bar went silent and the man look distraught as if he had been in a war. "She killed them she killed them all," he said making his way towards us. "Who is she" "the witch she killed the trackers all of them". He said. I sniffed the air and tiles my head. Something was wrong with him he smelled tainted. "What did she do to you," I said. "She gave me a message for you all," he said. I could hear the sound of gurgling coming from his body. You look like he was about to throw up. Hansel moved the kid in front of him and took a seat. And not a second later the man exploded. Blood hit almost anyone who was near. People screamed and my sister and I were covered with blood.
I dropped a piece of flesh to the ground I looked at my brother to see he was still drinking his beer. "The curse of Hunter for crawling things, I fucking hate that one" Gretel said annoyed.

"That was awesome," Benjamin said smiling. "Yeah wait till you have to clean the shit out," I said. I looked around the room and sighed. " I m going to go get cleaned up. You should too Gretel." I said she nodded and left the bar. "Hansel do me a favor and go tell the mayor what has happened," I said. He groaned lightly and stood up from his seat. "Eye-eye captain," he said before drunkenly walking away. "And get some sleep," I said. After that, I walked out of the bar and headed towards the forest. On the way there I heard the talking of people in the distance. I climbed up on top of a house to listen to the conversation. I looked down and saw a group of people surrounding Priscilla.
I was now backed into a corner I had two choices endure or defend myself. "Come on let's just get to know each other" one of them said "what more do want from me you already tried to have me killed" "that was the sheriff's doing not ours," another said. I pulled out a small knife but they only laughed louder. "Oh no, whatever shall we do," someone said. They stopped laughing when we all heard a low growl. The men dried lighting ranchers to see what it didn't help. It was dark as the sky would not help them see. Suddenly a man cried in pain before dropping to the ground and getting dragged into the darkness.

The man screamed loudly until there was only silence. And then one by one the men were taken by the darkness. At the end of all the commotion, I could see a pair of red eyes looking at me from the woods. My mouth was dry and before I could say anything else the creature was gone.
